It has come to my attention that I haven't posted enough photos recently.

In the happy 100th birthday to our house file, I have added a fake retro record player, some authentic antique Italian postcards and a framed photo of my wife's ancestors' grocery store.

Pean campaigns for his favorite cause.

According to the landlord, our house was built in 1906, meaning it turns 100 this year. We've been trying to dig up some historical information or photos from its early days but there's not much on the internet and the Mountain View library's historical room is almost impossible to sort through in the limited hours that it's open. Personally, I ( Read more... )

cog1201 posted something a few days ago that I thought would make a good meme. Things I love and hate about my neighborhood. All glory and credit to Cog.

When moving into a small apartment, the tape measure becomes your life. The past three days have been non-stop measuring, moving, measuring and moving again. It's not that the place doesn't have room for us, it's just that it's kind of fragmented, like the West Bank or the remaining chimpanzee habitat. We have to make the most of every square foot ( Read more... )

We took our tape measure to the new house last night and it turns out to be smaller than we thought. We're just going to have to be a little more selective about what we need and what we don't. bradjohnson is right when he says you shouldn't get too attached to material things. I always thought I followed that mantra, but upon cleaning out my closets I find ( Read more... )

We got it!
